Julius Versucci

Julius Versucci (died 1499) was an Italian cardinal of the Catholic Church.

Biography
Julius Versucci was consecrated as a Cardinal of the Catholic Church in 1475, and he became the head of the Office of Public Works that same year. In 1495, Pope Alexander VI had Giulia Farnese review his finances, as the Pope was enraged that Versucci built three palaces for himself, while the people of Rome remained destitute and starving. Versucci would rebel against the Pope after he began to purge corrupt cardinals, stealing a large sum of money from the Vatican Treasury and giving the money to a convent; he proceeded to burn the treasury down. Cardinal Alessandro Farnese discovered the theft, and Micheletto Corella slit Versucci's wrists, killing him.
